Is Anything Fit For Purpose Any More?

[agchristie]

Law and order, immigration, economy, green issues, health, education, media,to name but a few.

A heavy question but Im interested to kno if u think things are irreparably broken in Britain?

[Bobbisox1]

agc, we have to have hope , we mustn't give in ...ever

[agchristie]

Bobbi,if hope is all we have left it is seriously tragic...

[emmie]

i think there is a lot right with the UK< more than what is wrong with it, things can be fixed where need be, it just takes time

[allenlondon]

Oh yes, but in the midst of all this chaos, we still have Answerbank, a stalwart of common sense and decency in a disintegrating world...

In most cases ,take the media away and you have already reduced all those problems by 50%.

[Bobbisox1]

depends which way it's looked at apc, we can either hope things will improve and I am sure they will or be a glass half empty person but that would make you miserable anyway , as Emmie says , there's a lot of things right in theis country of ours x

[emmie]

sarcasm, why?

[agchristie]

Even if u r a 'half full' glass person and think abt just the stuff Ive mentioned.

We are in a mess arent we?

[Bobbisox1]

who's being sarky Em?

[emmie]

we dont have the wild west status of the USA, no mass killings by gun, yes we have issues with law enforcement, and i would welcome more being done about knife crime. Though we do pay for our health service, its still a good deal better than what had gone before.

[emmie]

Allen, as per bobbi,

[Bobbisox1]

we are in the midst of a serious pandemic so it is natural people feel down apc

[agchristie]

I dunno teacake.I kno wot u r sayin but the pollution of minds from the media - does that account for so much angst?

[agchristie]

Bobbi,but wen did the rot set in? It started well bfore covid?

[Bobbisox1]

we are 'free' to start with no matter what some will say, we don't live under a regime, yes we are having things imposed on us but that is to protect us, we have a wonderful health service and the best Doctors and Nurses anywhere, if we don't want to follow the rules then we don't have to as we live in a democracy

[Apc2604]

12.33 Bobbi, Can you read my mind. I'm not on this thread (but I am now!)

[agchristie]

Its more of a Saturday Essay question but I just thort to meself - things are just so crazy on so many fronts.

[Bobbisox1]

agc you are always going to have people not happy with their lot, that's life so I have no answer as to when 'rot' set in

[Bobbisox1]

got mixed up with me apc and me agc haha

[agchristie]

But are we 'free' bobbi?and the Health system is broken like everythin else it seems
